title: Tough courage: Oncology Nursing Forum addresses childhood cancer then and now.
abstract: Cancer is a devastating diagnosis for anyone, but none more so than for children and their parents--so many questions to be asked, so much information to sift through and absorb, and so many difficult decisions to be made. It is no wonder that a diagnosis of childhood cancer is often met with fear, anger, guilt, and feelings of being overwhelmed, yet also a determined resilience on the part of families to do whatever it takes to help their child get well again (Rishel, 2010).
